Main target in Paris attack: Jewish concert hall - Ari Yashar

by Ari Yashar

Bataclan Theater, where 82 of the over 128 were murdered, was owned by
Jews, and previously had been targeted by radical Islamic groups.

Bataclan Theater in Paris, the concert hall where most of the bloodshed was seen on Saturday as 82 out of a total of more than 128 people were murdered in six coordinated attacks claimed by Islamic State (ISIS), was owned by Jews.

In the attack, four terrorists armed with assault rifles
shouting "Allahu akbar" (Allah is greater) stormed in during a concert
by the US rock group Eagles of Death Metal. They executed hostages one
by one.

Three of them blew up their explosive belts in suicide attacks as
anti-terror police ended the siege at 12:30 a.m. local time, while a
fourth was shot by police. Next to one of the attackers, a Syrian
passport of a man who entered Europe via Greece as a "refugee" was found.

The French magazine Le Point reported on Saturday that a
member of the radical group Army of Islam told French security services
back in 2011 that "we had planned an attack against the Bataclan because
its owners are Jewish."

Bataclan Theater was also targeted back in 2004 when the Israeli
hip-hop duo of Subliminal and Hatzel performed there, despite threats by
Islamists that nearly closed the performance. In a 2006 repeat, the
venue gave in to the pressure and canceled the show in advance, forcing
the Zionist rap stars to perform elsewhere.

"Anti-semitic motives"

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Saturday expressed its outrage at
the attack while noting on the Jewish connection of the concert hall.

"We join with the international community in loudly condemning these
barbaric and heinous terror attacks, which have claimed the lives of
hundreds of innocent people going about their lives," said Jonathan A.
Greenblatt, ADL CEO.

"Words cannot express our shock at these despicable attacks in Paris.
This was an outrageous, cowardly and premeditated assault not just on
the people of France, but on all freedom loving people around the
world."

"While the investigation continues and the terrorists’ motivations
are still unclear, we are deeply concerned at reports that the Bataclan
Theater has long been a locus of anti-Zionist groups. We hope the French
authorities will investigate the possibility that virulent
anti-Semitism was a motive in the attack," added Greenblatt.

"Having been in Paris earlier this month, I can attest to the resolve
and strength of the people of that great city, and know that they will
emerge from this tragedy stronger and more united. We stand in
solidarity with the French people during this terrible time, and support
the efforts of the French government to locate and apprehend those
behind the attacks and bring safety and security to all of France.

"Earlier this year, Paris endured the brutality of the attack on Charlie Hebdo,
an assault on free expression. We also saw the violent killing
committed at Hyper Cacher, a heinous act of anti-Semitism directed
squarely against the Jewish community, one of a series of murderous acts
in recent years intended to terrorize French Jews. As happened after
these incidents, we know that the City of Light will rise again from the
darkness and prevail over those who would seek to use terror as a blunt
instrument against freedom and democracy. In the aftermath of this
attack we must all rise up and say, 'JeSuisFrancais!'"Ari YasharSource: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/203376#.VkeWaL-zdds Copyright - Original materials copyright (c) by the authors.
